SUMMARY:Revolution 250 in Yarmouth\, Massachusetts

Events will range from telling the stories of Yarmouth’s involvement in the American Revolution to showing how trades such as printing & glassmaking were performed in support of the war effort. Research by the Society indicates nearly 70% of Yarmouth males over the age of sixteen participated in the Revolution. A new monument commemorating these 445 participants will be dedicated with the celebration to include the State SAR Militia\, demonstrations & insights from characters in period dress performing in plays or talking graveside in the Ancient Cemetery about a veteran’s service. Many will take place on June 20\, 2026 as on this day in 1776\, the inhabitants of Yarmouth raised a Liberty Pole & declared a state of independence from Great Britain\, two weeks before the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress. More events will occur through July 4th & the summer\, concluding with a special marking of each grave of the Revolutionary War heroes of Yarmouth.

SUMMARY:Townsend Celebrates America’s 250th Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Townsend has always been a community that honors its past while looking toward the future\, and now we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate both. As our nation marks America’s 250th birthday\, Townsend has been hosting a series of events that will lead up to a grand finale: a 250th Anniversary Parade and Old Home Day Celebration on Saturday\, June 20\, 2026.  This date is special because on June 20\, 1776\, Townsend voted to support our country’s independence. \nThis will be more than just a parade. It will be a hometown celebration of who we are\, where we’ve come from\, and the people who make this community strong. The parade will start from Scales Lane at 11:00 a.m.\, travel down Main Street\, and end at the Town Common\, where the Old Home Day festivities will continue with games\, local food\, and displays such as antique cars.
